Allstar Inc., a Richland construction company, will do the work, which includes installing the lights, trees with decorative cast iron grates at more than 40 locations, and laying 5,600 square feet of brick inlay along existing sidewalks. The project also calls for installing four strap iron benches and trash cans.

Work began in early fall on North Allen Street and Townsend Park. Both are receiving new sidewalks with brick inlay separating them from the street.

As part of the plan, businesses and homeowners are encouraged, through grants and loans, to join in the efforts by improving their structures
